By Motorcar
The garage door is the bronze one, just past the awning. Sound your horn once; the valet keeps your motorcar below the boulevard, warmed for your return.

The Address
The Meridian
No. 1 Meridian Boulevard
New York — at the corner the clock keeps.
Hours of the Desk
There are none.
The desk does not close,
and never has.
III·Finding the House
Every Road Ends at the Boulevard
By Rail
Twelve minutes from the Grand Terminal. The house car meets the noon trains by arrangement — look for the driver holding nothing; he will know you.
By Air
Forty minutes from the airfield in reasonable traffic. Telephone ahead and the bar will time your first drink to the opening of the door.
An address with a past — and, the desk hopes, your future.
